Tolls are collected through the toll plaza on the south bank of Tagus near Montijo. Northbound (to Lisbon) transportation is charged, and southbound is free. The environmental pressure of the entire project caused the left bank viaduct to extend inward to protect the swamp below, and the lamppost of the entire bridge tilted inward to avoid casting light on the river below. The Lisbon earthquake in 1755 (estimated at a time of 8.5-9.0) level).Īt average sea level, the deepest foundation pile (with a maximum diameter of 2.2 m (7.2 ft)) is pressed down to 95 m (312 ft). Its designed to withstand wind speeds of 250 kilometers per hour (155 miles per hour) and accommodate earthquakes are 4.5 times stronger than historically. Lusoponte’s capital comes from 50.4% of Portuguese companies, 24.8% of France and 24.8% of Britain. The funding was carried out by the private consortium Lusoponte through the build-operate-transfer system, which received tolls for the first 40 years of the two Lisbon bridges. The project has as many as 3,300 workers at the same time, which took 18 months of preparation time and 18 months of construction time. The $1.1 billion project is divided into four parts, each part built by another company and supervised by an independent consortium. Vasco da Gama Bridge at night Construction and cost

In windy, rainy and foggy days, the speed limit will be reduced to 90 km/h (56 mph). The bridge has 6 lanes and the speed limit is 120 km/h (75 mph), which is the same as the highway, but the speed limit for a section of the road is 100 km/h (60 mph). The bridge was opened to traffic on March 29, 1998, which coincided with the holding of the 98th World Expo, which celebrated the 500th anniversary of Vasco da Gama’s discovery of the route from Europe to India. In February 1995, the Vasco da Gama Bridge began construction. The Vasco da Gama Bridge was established to ease traffic congestion on the 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon and eliminate the need for traffic through the capital between the northern and southern regions of Portugal. The bridge has a dedicated passage of 4.8 kilometers (3.0 miles). The bridge is 7.7 mi (12.3 km) long and the Longest span is 1378 ft (420 m ). Vasco da Gama Bridge ( Portuguese: Ponte Vasco da Gama ) is located in the north of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.
